Abstract

Background: Surgical treatment for pediatric skin disorders is used for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons. We underline these procedures are usually easy and uncomplicated without the need for general anesthesia. Objective of this study was to share our experience in the field of pediatric dermatologic surgery.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed records of all pediatric patients receiving surgical therapy at the Dermatology Department of Spedali Civili of Brescia. Demographic data and treatments characteristics were recorded and analyzed.

Results: During the study period of one year, 670 surgical treatments concerning pediatric patients were collected. Number of procedures progressively grows with increasing age. All treatments were performed under local anesthesia except for a dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans for which general anesthesia was needed.

Conclusions: Our data show that cryosurgery, electrodessication and excisional surgery constitute with equal proportion almost the whole of surgical procedures in dermatologic pediatric patients. Dermatologist's habit to perform surgery in local anesthesia avoids the risk of overtreatments, limits discomfort, anxiety, and pain perception linked to procedures performed.

小儿皮肤外科:我们的经验。

背景:小儿皮肤病的外科治疗主要用于诊断和治疗。我们强调这些手术通常是简单和不复杂的，不需要全身麻醉。本研究的目的是分享我们在儿科皮肤外科领域的经验。方法:我们回顾性分析布雷西亚市立医院皮肤科所有接受外科治疗的儿科患者的记录。记录和分析人口统计学资料和治疗特点。结果:在一年的研究期间，收集了670例小儿患者的手术治疗。随着年龄的增长，手术次数逐渐增加。除需要全身麻醉的隆突性皮肤纤维肉瘤外，所有治疗均在局部麻醉下进行。结论:我们的数据显示，冷冻手术、电干燥和切除手术在儿科皮肤病患者的外科手术中所占比例相等。皮肤科医生在局部麻醉下进行手术的习惯避免了过度治疗的风险，限制了与手术相关的不适、焦虑和疼痛感。
